We had a lovely time in Old Fashioned Sam’s last night! The building doesn’t look very big from the outside but is very spacious and fabulously decorated inside. We ate in the restaurant section where the staff was incredible attentive and the ambiance created by the music and lighting was perfect for a Saturday evening dinner and drink. Highly recommend the food and drinks and hope that Sam’s will grow in popularity in the new year!
